“What … are you doing?”
His eyebrows rose in the usual sardonic way and his slow smile was pure sensuality and lust. His voice sounded harsh in the empty space surrounding them.
“Your memory seems to be waning, Red. I told you I am going to start collecting the moment you set foot on this continent.”
“You can’t be serious! Gabriel everyone is out there! What will they think? My Gramps!”
“Benito has his instructions. He will take them to my Villa so long. Now … stop running away and come here, Donna!”
“No, stay away from me! You are nothing but a … a Neanderthal! You can’t … NOOO Gabriel!”
She cried out when he caught her and yanked her tight against his body. Her breath whooshed out of her when her softness connected with his hard and unyielding body. She hissed when he pressed the rock hard ridge of his arousal against her stomach and growled in her ear.
“Call me whatever you want, but I need you, now and right here! I will not allow you to deny me my due!”
His lips closed around hers and Sienna shivered as he took her lips in a savage, possessive and dominating kiss. His hand slid sensuously down her back to knead the cheeks of her buttocks and brought her tighter against his thick arousal.
He walked her backwards until he pressed her against the wall towards the back of the plane. He pulled her hands upwards against the wall and his one large hand fisted around them. His other hand slowly caressed down her arm to settled on her side. His eyes glowed like the sun, unfathomable, but full of promise.
Sienna could not draw a breath. With one kiss he totally broke her resistance and left her trembling, needy and she was utterly infatuated. Her core pulsed with anticipation and she licked her lips.
For several seconds they just looked at each other and she has never felt such desire, such an overwhelming hunger for another man. They reached for each other at the same time and their lips clashed and they kissed fiercely, frantically, as if they could not get enough of one another. Their desire was fierce and savage and at that point Sienna forgot about everything else. Nothing mattered but the desire for him that consumed her.
Gabriel deepened the kiss and she was pulled further and further down into his seduction, passion and lust. Into the pleasure that his touch and kisses promised her. He growled when he realized she wore a skirt and pulled it up all the way past her waist. He made short work of her panties and his pants dropped to his knees without him realizing he pushed them down.
He lifted her legs and she wrapped them around his waist. He looked down to where his eager shaft throbbed against her hot and wet core and he pushed forward, watching as he slowly entered and filled her body. He watched the way she stretched to accommodate him, how her juicy pink cleft gripped every inch of him as he plunged inside her. When he was settled all the way to the hilt, his eyes rose and he looked at her and his breath caught in his throat.
Sienna’s eyes was closed and the expression on her face was one of pure ecstasy. Her head was thrown back against the wall and her neck arched in the passion that ruled her body. Her lush bottom lip was trapped between her teeth. She opened her eyes and they were the deepest violet, engulfed in a smoky haze.
“Yes, Red, I want your eyes on me the whole time. I want to see what I do to you. I want you to see what you do to me!”
She breathed in a shallow breath and slowly rotated her hips against his. That’s all it took and he was pushed past the point where he could control his rampaging lust. He pulled out of her and then gave a hard thrust and he sank deep into her body, eliciting a cry from her lips.
She whimpered and her nails dug into his back. Again and again he filled her, slamming her hard against the wall with each forward thrust. Their eyes watching each other all the time and it was as if it intensified the desire that consumed them. Her body was giving, eager and thrashed against his. He tried to hold back a wildness that rose inside him for the first time in his life, but each time he pulled back, she held him tighter.
He increased the rhythm and he plunged inside her body time and time again. Going deeper and harder with every thrust, driving harder. There was wildness, a desperation that seemed to be driving her as she responded to the same wildness that seemed to want to break free from him. Wildness she has not encountered in him before and it excited and scared her to no end. Her hips rose to meet every thrust, her soft moans turned to cries and she shouted his name over and over as she felt the pressure building and rising to an inferno inside her.
Gabriel was powerless against the desire and need that pulsed through him and was echoed by her desperate thrashing against him. He gripped her hip with his one hand and protected her back behind her against the wall as his thrusts became ferocious and plunged inside her mercilessly. The harder and deeper he thrust, the more she took and demanded.
The convulsing around his shaft when her climax clutched her so quickly and hard, gripped him so tight he shouted as his own climax spiraled over him and weakened his whole body to slump against her and push her hard into the wall. His shaft going so deep he touched her womb. She screamed when another climax hit her from the unexpected heat and force of his release so deep inside her body.
Their breathing was haggard and for long minutes neither moved. They clutched one another and savored the pulsing of their bodies where they were still intimately connected. Eventually Gabriel moved back and looked down at Sienna. Her eyes slightly sheltered by her eyelashes. She was scared her real emotions were too clearly visible after their explosive encounter. He touched the depth of her, not just her body, but her heart and her soul. She could not let him see that and increase the hold and power he had over her.
He leaned down and kissed her slowly and tenderly. Against her lips he whispered and she stiffened in anger.
“Now, that is how you pay a debt, Baby! That is what I want from you every time. No denying me my due and no hi …”
“Get away from me! I told you I am only here to work! Gabriel! Let me go! NOOO!”
No matter how she struggled or tried to push away from him, when he started thrusting into her again she was lost. So quickly it was embarrassing and she screamed her frustration at him when a climax ripped through her within seconds of his first thrust and she knew she was helpless against him. Helpless, because he held the key to unlocking her passions with a flick of his wrist, the softest of touch, the whisper of a word.
“You. Are. Mine. Red.”
He ground out with each hard thrust into her and then his shout joined hers when his climax followed hers soon after.
When he was done he pulled back and lifted her chin to glare into her eyes.
“And never forget that!”
He pulled out of her and drawing his pants up went into the bathroom, leaving her to slump against the wall. When he came out she rushed past him and slammed the door closed, screeching with frustration when he only chuckled.
“You can run, Red … but you can never hide from me. Remember that!”
Elaine walked through the Villa in awe. If this was where he stayed for business, she did not want to even know what his home looked like on the Island. Maybe that was what spooked Sienna and made her feel inferior to Gabriel. However, she knew for a fact that Sienna’s lack of nobility and wealth had no bearing in Gabriel’s eyes. The attraction he felt for Sienna was clear in his gaze whenever he looked at her, the way he touched her. What he did want, what he needed from Sienna was to be acknowledged as a man. Just that … a man.
The irony of it was that it was exactly how Sienna reacted towards him. She did not treat him as one normally would a Prince or King. Who in their right mind would bluntly tell a King he was a jackass and tell him to shut up?
Yet when she talked about him, it was only the Prince and the King she saw. If only her two mindsets would talk to one another and come to the same conclusion. Maybe then there would be hope for the two of them. Elaine just hoped that Gabriel had enough patience to allow her to fi
nd the balance he needed her to find.
It was nearly an hour after Benito brought them there that Gabriel and Sienna joined them on the patio where they were enjoying a light brunch.
“Ah … I am starving! Hi again, Gramps, Dr. Salt. How was the flight? Are you sure you should not be in bed resting, Gramps?”
“Don’t you start. I’ve already had to listen to the same tune since we arrived from William.”
Sienna’s eyes rose at the familiarity that seemed to be between her Gramps and the doctor. He just looked at her sternly.
“Not that it helped any. But be warned, Elaine, you will take a nap after you finished your meal.”
“Yes Doctor!”
Elaine glanced at Sienna and asked tongue in the cheek. “And what kept the two of you so long?”
Sienna blushed a bright red and Gabriel chuckled, pulling her back against him and his arms circled around her waist. She stopped struggling against him when he only tightened his arms and sighed. Gabriel grinned at Gramps over her head.
“We had a little matter of a sizeable debt owed to discuss.”
“Debt for what? Sienna, you hardly spent time here, how could you owe the King anything?”
Her blush turned even brighter and Gabriel took pity on her.
“Stop being so nosy, Gramps. It is a matter between Sienna and I. She is nicely grown up and can handle her own debts well enough. That, I can testify for!”
Sienna slapped his forearm and shrieked when he just chuckled. Elaine looked between them and then realization struck.
“Oh … OH! I’m sorry … I should have … I think I should rather shut up now, before she slaps me silly.”
Elaine grinned at the telling glare her granddaughter shot her way.
Gabriel’s cell phone rang and he excused himself to take the call. Sienna joined her Gramps and doctor and dished some food from the buffet. She was nearly done when he joined them, also with a plate of food in his hand. He sat down next to Sienna and glanced at Gramps.
“That was my aunt Viola. Sienna and I will take you to her Villa tomorrow morning. She lives in the Villa Abamelek, just outside the center of Rome. She is very excited about meeting all of you. We will spend the weekend there as well and then leave for Li Gilli on Sunday afternoon.”
“I thought you said you needed to be at the office for the month.”
He looked at her, his eyes searching hers. He shrugged and continued eating.
“I changed my mind. I have some research of my own to do and I can do that much better there. Besides, I need to get away from unwanted attention that leeched onto me the past few days.”
Sienna glanced at him and Elaine wanted to know what he meant. He looked at Sienna and wondered how she would react. He kept his eyes on her and said slowly.
“There is a woman that claims I compromised her and her father now demands I marry her.”
Sienna stiffened but refused to look at him and kept her eyes on her plate. Her hand clutching the fork went white.
“Compromised?”
“Apparently she is pregnant.”
Sienna visibly paled and he cursed softly. Elaine noticed her reaction as well and could kick the King for the bluntness in telling. The way he watched Sienna however told her he was testing her reaction and she wondered about it.
“How far along is she?”
“Not far enough, I imagine.”
“What do you mean?”
“It seems someone has judged and found me guilty already.” His voice was soft and angry. Sienna looked up and glared at him.
"What do you expect, King Gabriel? You never appear anywhere without some sexy woman by your side. You most definitely cannot deny indulging yourself regularly!”
“I also told you not to believe everything you read in the tabloids and that I am always careful and never have sex without …”
“Gabriel!”
His eyes burned holes in her and she felt like crying. However much she wanted to believe she might have a future with him, it was all just blown to pieces. He glanced at William and asked him through clenched lips.
“Doctor Salt, correct me if I am wrong, but there has to be an intimate release of sperm inside a woman for her to fall pregnant, correct?”
“Gabriel!” He ignored Sienna and waited for William to answer with a slight grin on his face.
“As you say, Gabriel.”
“And even if she was just four weeks pregnant it had to have happened around the same time?”
“Correct again.”
“And there is no way that just an intimate kiss on the mouth could make that woman pregnant?”
He laughed blatantly at the continued line of questions and shook his head.”
“Absolutely no chance.”
Gabriel’s head swung to Sienna and he glared at her. “I had a very and I repeat very short fling with Jessica Chastain more than three years ago and only saw her again for the first time the day I returned to Rome. There is no way in hell she can be pregnant with my child!”
“And I suppose the kiss you referred to happened then?”
He cursed, but would not lie to her. “Yes.”
Sienna felt the hurt crush her heart and she snagged her breath very slowly into her lungs, forcing her expression to remain unchanged. He pursued her relentlessly while he went around kissing other women. His actions clear proof that she was nothing more than another notch on his bedpost!
Well, that was the last of it. She would not spread her legs for him again. Prince or … bloody King or not! Gabriel grinned when he noticed the tight pull of her lips and knew what was running through her mind. If she thought this was a way to keep him away from her, she had a big surprise in store for her!
Chapter Thirteen
“Can’t say I am surprised to hear that, my dear King. You … you …” She choked, jumped up and walked quickly down the steps of the porch into the garden.
Gabriel sat looking after her for a while before he sighed and followed her slowly. He found her sitting on the edge of the fountain in the center of the garden. Twirling her fingers through the water.
“Do you always run away rather than confront a problem, Red?”
She stiffened but refused to answer and kept her head turned away from him.
“Sienna!”
“I don’t know what you are talking about. There is no problem to confront. You just proved that you are nothing but a … rake … a libertine! It is very clear that one woman would never be enough for you. I am very happy you found your Jessica again. So now you can leave me alone!”
“You are nothing if not predictable, Red.”
“Is that what kept you so busy that it took you three days before you bothered to call me?”
His heart missed a beat at her surly question. He touched her shoulder, but she kept her face averted and he sighed.
“I kissed her only once and it barely started before I ended it. There was a reason why I kissed her, Red.”
“Oh, I’m sure there is and it would be very interesting indeed.”
“Sienna, will you look at me?” She shook her head and he growled in frustration.
“She is a very beautiful woman and …”
“I know what she bloody looks like! She is one of thé Socialites in the media. It is hard to miss her!”
“I wanted to see if she could draw the same reaction from me that you do with only a kiss.”
She jumped up and swung to him. His breath hissed in his throat at the fury that flashed from her violet eyes.
“Don’t feed me such bullshit, Gabriel! A man like you kisses a woman for one reason and one reason only! To convey his feelings and his intent!”
She was trembling she was so angry and she stabbed him in his chest with her finger.
“I am nobody’s fool, Gabriel Costa! Not even yours! Even if it is only for the time I have to pay this … ridiculous debt you drenched up that I owe you … you will stay away from other women! Do you hear me! I
will not share you with anyone!”
Whatever Gabriel expected her to say, that was the furthest thing from his mind and he could not curb the delighted smile that played around his lips. It inflamed her even further.
“Wipe that smile from your face! This is no joke and I am warning you, Gabriel. If I find you near another woman, even just kissing or touching her … my debt is paid in full! I will owe you no more!”
He rocked back on his heels and looked at her through half lidded eyes.
“You do know what that means, don’t you, Red?”
“What?”
“That you cannot push me away. No matter where and when I want to kiss you or touch you.”
She gasped and her glare intensified.
“What I owe you has nothing to do with kissing and touching in public!”
“But of course it does. Especially if I am not allowed to take any other woman out. Let’s get this straight right here and now so you are very clear on my expectations. You will accompany me to all functions I have to attend and be very attentive to me. You will hold my hand when I want you to, will not push me away when I hug you and you will kiss me back when I kiss you. As far as the more intimate actions are concerned … well, I am sure you already know what my expectations on that are.”
“For how long?”
“Well … for as long as you owe me, Red. You will spread your lovely thighs for me at any time night or day when I demand you to.”
“You … you … oef!”
“So let us test your commitment to this, Red. Open the buttons of your top and unsnap your bra.”
“What!”
“You heard me, Red.”
“Not if it means your intention is to humiliate me in front of others! Then you can forget it!”
“I will never allow others to view what I treasure for myself, Red. It is only the two of us here and no one will see anything, except me … perfect for this little test. Now Red … Adesso, amore!”
He grinned sensually and stood waiting with his hands on his hips. She literally glowered at him and spat at him when his eyebrows rose in a repeat of his command. Her hands rose and she opened the buttons one by one until her top hung open over her skirt. His eyes dropped and his body tightened at the sight of her beautiful breasts hugged tightly in a barely there white lace bra. She snapped the front clasp between her breasts open and glared at him.
